Children in families at risk - Local area maps

About these maps

The maps below present our projected proportions of children living in households where an adult has any of the so called ‘toxic trio’ factors present, or where multiple factors exist in the same household. These factors are:

• Alcohol/substance misuse:
  • Key measure presented below: Children in households where an adult has a drug or alcohol dependence
• Domestic abuse:
  • Key measure presented below: Children in households where an adult has experienced violence or abuse from a partner in the last year
• Mental health problems:
  • Key measure presented below: Children in households where an adult has a clinically diagnosable mental health condition

These have been shown to put children at notably greater risk of immediate harm as well as having a detrimental impact on their later life outcomes.

Note: These figures are not actual data collected from each local area, but are instead projections from a national survey combined with additional predictive modelling. More detail on the methodology for generating these estimates is available in the accompanying technical report.

Please note: estimates of local authority alcohol and drug dependence are not comparable to Public Health England estimates due to differences in methodology
